[Solved]LUBE and Windows 8

Post by Dr.Tyler O. »

A long time ago I created a simple chat application with Love2D 0.9.1 and the LUBE library. It worked beautifully at the time but recently I replaced my Windows 7 operating system with Windows 8 and upgraded to Love2D 0.9.2. I tested the application today and I've come to find that the application no longer functions. I made sure that it wasn't just some sort of coding error by building the project on Love2D 0.9.1 (which didn't work) and letting a friend test the application for me on their Windows 8 computer with Love 0.9.1 and Love 0.9.2 installed and it worked perfectly fine. So what could be the issue here?

Any topic I have ever posted that I felt did not require a .love file, although they were requested, never required one so I would appreciate if you did not ask me to supply one unless you think that I am ignorant for not doing so.

Do you have multiple versions of LOVE installed on your machine? If so, that could be messing with you. I had a similar error a while back.

It is not an issue with my application, it's a compatibility issue with LUBE and my computer.

Yes but I have them installed in different directories. I use Sublime Text 3 and, for those that are familiar, I have two separate build systems for 0.9.1 and 0.9.2.

Well with the information you have given, the only answer we can give you is: "We cant help you, sorry"

If you want us to help you, we need to replicate the problem somehow. Even if the issue is not with your app, we need to find the same conditions.

Think about it this way: If your app doesnt fail, LUBE doesnt fail in other cases, luasocket doesnt fail in other cases, it is not a problem with LÖVE, and not a broad OS issue... Then we are failing to diagnose the problem (this is probably the issue, because we are missing some information), there is some error in your connections setup or THERE IS NO ERROR!

So you tell me... where is the problem?

Is it a firewall issue, maybe?

Is it actually running 0.9.2? I'm also on Windows 8, and even though I chose it to run from love.exe from LOVE/0.9.2/love.exe, it was still launching from the 0.8.0 .exe.
Are you getting an error, or is it just not working?

I agree. This sounds like some sort of firewall program or windows preventing the application from using the internet. Sorry I don't use windows (I am a die-hard arch linux user :D) so I cannot be much help.

So guys, I found the fix: Uninstall 0.9.2

That's not a fix, that's giving up.
